🥊 FIRST FRIDAY BOXERCISE CLASS! 💙
A huge well done to these fantastic ladies who came along to my first Friday Boxercise class at The Coliseum, Morpeth, last night! 🥰🥊
I was fully booked, although I had a few last-minute cancellations, so I was delighted to have 8 ladies join me for the first class.
And the best part?
Every single one was completely new to Boxercise! 💙
That's something I absolutely love about teaching — introducing beginners to Boxercise in a friendly, supportive environment and helping them build confidence as they go.
We started with cardio, mobility and shadow boxing before introducing the basics of stance, jab, cross and single-arm punches.
Then it was gloves and pads on! 🥊
We worked through:
🥊 Jab & cross combinations
🥊 Single-arm jabs
🥊 Punching ladders
🥊 Timed combinations
🥊 1-minute and 90-second rounds
🥊 A little friendly competition
And there was a point where I noticed some very gentle punches being thrown... 😂
So I encouraged everyone to put a little more power into the pads and reassured them that they're designed to take it.
My advice?
"Think of somebody you really can't stand and imagine they're the disc on the pads!" 😂
That seemed to work!
By the next round there were some seriously impressive power punches happening. 💪🥊
We finished with stretches and a cooldown, followed by a little surprise for everyone — a card and goodie bag to take home. 🥰🎁
One of the ladies chose not to be in the photo, which is absolutely fine. Creating a comfortable and welcoming environment is really important to me, and nobody should ever feel pressured to be photographed. 💙
8 complete beginners. One brilliant first Friday class. And lots of smiles along the way. 🥰🥊
If you've never tried Boxercise before, you really don't need any previous experience — that's exactly where these classes start. 💙
